Prospecting - Are You a Person of Action?

E-mail Print PDF

Are you a person of action? Or are you the type that plans and plans until there is no time left for action? Perhaps you are paralyzed by fear. I am here to tell you that it is time to take action. It doesn't matter what action you take, so long as you start. I recommend starting with action that faces your fears.

Are you afraid to call your prospects on the phone? Pick up the phone and dial. It is the ONLY way to get past this fear. View each call you make as practice for your pearl-in-waiting. With each call you make, your skills improve. You get the opportunity to fail forward. You get the opportunity to make your mistakes on your practice calls. In fact, spend a little money buying some cheap leads to practice on. Most importantly, maintain your posture and have fun. Believe in what you're doing and it will show.

Are you afraid to share your opportunity with your friends? Ask them for their help in giving you their honest opinion of your product. Ask them if you can practice on them. Then you can follow-up with them by asking them if they know anyone looking to make additional money helping people. Good friends will want to help you. Even if they are not interested, they may know someone who is.

Are you afraid to approach strangers or your luke-warm market? Well then, find a way to get them to approach you. Wear your colors: wear a button, wear a t-shirt, wear a hat, or publicly use your products. Once you have their attention, see if you can find a need.

These are some simple ways to take action in three of the most common fears in our business. The only way to overcome fear is to face it by taking action. Walk towards your goals. As Nike would say, "Just Do It!"

NASA Image Of The Day
The heads of the International Space Station (ISS) agencies from Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia and the United States met in Tokyo, Japan, on March 11, 2010, to review ISS cooperation. From the left are Dr. Keiji Tachikawa, President of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator; Jean-Jacques Dordain, Director General of the European Space Agency; Anatoly N. Permirov, Head of the Russian Space Agency; and, Dr. Steve MacLean, President of the Canadian Space Agency. With the assembly of the ISS nearing completion and the capability to support a full-time crew of six established, they noted the outstanding opportunities now offered by the ISS for on-orbit research and for discovery including the operation and management of the world's largest international space complex. The heads of agency reaffirmed the importance of full exploitation of the station's scientific, engineering, utilization, and education potential. They noted that there are no identified technical constraints to continuing ISS operations beyond the current planning horizon, and that the partnership is currently working to certify on-orbit elements through 2028. They emphasized their common intent to undertake the necessary procedures within their respective governments to reach consensus later this year on the continuation of the ISS to the next decade.
